 :P Oh the poop comes when I leave my model outside to dry !

Good rock effect. How did you do ?

I used a stone effect spray paint. It comes out a bit bloby but it dries well then I painted over the top with a lighter grey to highlight it.

It took about two days to build allowing for the glue and paint to dry as well as adding a few bits on as I changed the design of the base after I built it the first time.

I did not know that such a spray existed!!! Thank you very much Emma!!!

It's not exact but I hope you get the flavour of the original.
¿It’s not? It looks real to me… I mean like a real statue, not a real PM.
If I’m jealous, you did SOMETHING right. Keep it up. :D

 :wave: Thank you I must admit I was inspired by another customiser on Tricornejock's site that does wonderful work. I've also done a few small staues as well as this one.

That looks wonderful, Emma!  I have used that stone paint before (on an old lamp, didn't think to use it on Playmobil  ::) ) and it really works well. 

I got to see Trafalgar Square again last summer and your creation really evokes the originally beautifully.  Pretty soon you will have a complete Playmobil London!  How about Parliament and Big Ben next?   ;D
